Accessorizing your dog’s digs

PetSmart - Catherine Mabe

Once you’ve chosen the right crate for your dog, make his digs even more welcoming with these crate accessories:

Bedding & crate pads: These soft and stylish additions to your pet’s crate can make it an even more desirable place to hang out. Be sure to pick the bedding that fits your particular crate and be sure that it’s washable.

Crate covers: Dogs love their dens and a good crate cover provides your pampered pet with the ultimate in privacy. They’re also useful if you have a puppy or dog who’s likely to bark at outside distractions.

Food dishes & water dispensers: If you’re traveling significant distances with your pet, a handy crate water dispenser and food dish are must-haves. Many are made specifically for use with crates and can help prevent any spilling.

Crate-appropriate toys: There are several toys on the market designed specifically to provide your dog with entertainment and enjoyment when he’s in his crate. Kong toys, treat-dispensing toys like the Everlasting Treat Balls, and Busy Buddy products are designed specifically for these purposes. Invest in a few and take the time to learn their uses.
